Transformers Prime Deluxe Wave 4 and 5 Official Images: Airachnid, Shadow Strike Bumblebee, Dead End, Sergeant Kup, and Rumble

What happened with Rumble? It's like they were going to make a figure of him but decided to miss transform him officially? A green paint job does not a Kup make.

airachnid and rumble look pretty good, I agree though that airachnid looks a little top heavy.....well that sounded pervy. wtf is up with the dead end paint job.....was knock out mad there was another con car and gave him a well snotty loking paint job....I kid I kid....maybe. don't know how I feel about kup, I belive I will have to see a review first, not really digging his head sculpture.

edit: on a second look at airachnid I think I will pass. I think they should have made her a voyager so she was big enough to have her spider legs.....not digging the 7 limbs.

Cool. So it seems we are getting a deluxe Ironhide?

If you go according to Hasbro logic it could be both. Alternators Rumble was red, RTS rumble was blue. I personally belive Frenzy is Red, Rumble is Blue

I know some people like this line, but Im not feeling it. I love the cartoon, but not the figures. I wouldnt mind Takara 1st edition Bulkhead to go with my classics figures since we got Lugnut. And maybe the purple Cliff, But thats about all.

I like them all! but non show characters will stay sealed in package until they appear on the show!

I'm starting to think Hasbro is releasing the inferior figures first on purpose. They know people are less likely to buy a repaint or new mold of the same character if the first one was better. That might be the reason they screwed us out of the FE figures, they knew nobody would buy the PRiD versions if we already had the superior FE figures.

Here's a weird thought:

Figures that didn't receive First Edition treatment are almost crazy accurate.

Wheeljack? Pretty dang close.
Knock Out? Pretty dang close.
Airachnid? Body needs work, but that head? Dead on.
Dreadwing? Almost perfect. Even got the gun we wanted.

First Edition figures are almost exact duplicates of the show models. (Key word: almost. They're not 100% perfect)

Yet their PRID versions are almost painful to look at. It's almost like they're GIVING us a reason to buy FE figures. If you take FE plus PRID to fill in the gaps, the cast toys look almost perfect.

....I swear this was a sales ploy. Looks like it's working, too.

I found both Cyberverse Dreadwing and Ironhide today but do we know if we are getting larger scales of these 2 characters...?

At least we know this repaint BB will keep the current BB in stores company on them pegs . I think Arachnids alt mode from above looks like a craw-daddy with a propeller on top.
